Arsenal won a 1-0 victory in a close match against Udinese in the firsth leg of the play-off matches to Champions League. Arsenal started best and with Theo Walcott fabioulos goal after Aaron Ramsey's crose into the near post, Arsenal took the lead. Gervinho could, or maybe should, given Arsenal a second goal only 5 minutes after Arsenal firsth goal in the 4th minute. The result dose not reflect the match pretty good. Yes, Arsenal could have scored a second goal already in the start of the match, but Udinese had plenty of opportunities to equalized the score. Udinese was close, but they missed there chance to take advantage of an away goal. The fact that Udinese do not have this away goal makes the match in Udine much more exiting.
Arsenal will have a fare, but not easy, task to reach the group stage in Champions League.
